Hazard identified

When a propane cylinder is positioned on its side (horizontal position), a significant amount of propane may be released posing fire and explosion hazards, which may result in injuries and property damage.

Additionally, when a propane cylinder is positioned horizontally, propane in the liquid state may accumulate in the cylinder's shutoff valve assembly and in adjoining components. During the disconnection of the cylinder, this liquid propane can cause burns to exposed skin.
